Development and is active with ASCE’s ExCEEd Workshop.Dr. Benjamin B Wheatley, Bucknell University Benjamin Wheatley was awarded a B.Sc. degree in Engineering from Trinity College (Hartford, CT, USA) in 2011 and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado State University (Fort Collins, CO, USA) in 2017. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Bucknell University (Lewisburg, PA, USA). His pedagogical areas of interest include active learning ap- proaches, ethics, and best practices as they relate to computational modeling. He runs the Mechanics and Modeling of Orthopaedic Tissues Laboratory at Bucknell, where they use computational and experimental techniques to better

the ability to work together while solving an open-ended designproblem, and being able to overcome any obstacles that arise. These obstacles involve differingwork ethics, personalities, and communication styles. Inevitably, these differences can lead toconflict, and a need to resolve disagreements within the team. These ever-present emotionalaspects to working in a team are found not only in student projects, but also on the projects theywill be working on once they graduate. Finding the skills as a student to successfully navigatethe myriad of issues that may arise when working with others, sets student up for success in theirengineering careers after graduation, as shown by Jones (1996) [1] and Seat et al. (1996) [2].Often students who are

, however, could not be satisfied across all project so a newcourse, “EPICS LC Course”, was created. It covers the outcomes related to computing skills andawareness of the engineering disciplines. Some topics, such as ethics and teaming, were alsocovered by the new course as well as EPICS. The sequence is shown in Table 2.Table 2: First Year Sequence, Standard and Learning Community Fall Semester (credits) Spring Semester (credits) Standard Core Introductory Engineering I (2) Introductory Engineering II (2) LC EPICS LC Course (2) EPICS course (1) Sequence EPICS Course(1)Because the new course was unique to the LC, it could

Next Century attributes [8]. These students defined engineering asimproving the world, using math, science, and technology, and solving problems with theapplication of knowledge, whereas the Engineer of 2020 report defines an engineer as a goodcommunicator who is creative and ethical with the skills to work in global and multidisciplinaryteams. It goes on to discuss creativity as invention, innovation, and thinking outside the box.While communication skills to work in teams is paramount in importance, the report alsomentions the need to master the principles of business and management, along with theprinciples of leadership. Because of rapid changes in technology and the global market theEngineer of 2020 will require dynamism, agility

our finding that motivation scores dropped from the early to late-semester assessment is warranted. Understanding if this drop is due to an overestimate of motivation in the early-semester assessment, or an actual decline in motivation during the course will be important for those interpreting the results of a pre/post survey methodology. Finally, we will continue to examine the role of caring motivation on student empowerment. While an experimental design cannot ethically be carried out in an actual course, we plan to conduct an experimental design in which we ask participants to rate MUSIC inventory items as if they were a student enrolled in a given
